Windows 10: Windows installation error: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT

I'm attempting to install Windows 10 onto a laptop and when Windows installation restarts the laptop I get a a short loading dots screen, before the dots freeze at "getting devices ready 85%" and the computer bluescreens.


The bluescreen freezes as well and the "collecting info" remains at 0%, giving me no option but to manually shut down the laptop.


I am using a Lenovo Legion Y530:

Processor: Intel Core i5-8300h

RAM: 8GB

Storage: 128GB SSD for OS and additional 1TB GB HDD for data

Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 1050


I'm unable to boot to safe mode as Windows hasn't been installed yet, and attempting to turn the laptop back on after the bluescreen only gives this message:


"The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation"


I've attempted to install Windows again multiple times, I've even formatted my windows USB and redownloaded windows 10 from the media creation tool.


My only thought is that it has something to do with my SSD and my HDD being in one system.


What can I do to successfully install Windows?

Blue screen error with Clock_Watchdog_Timeout error code.

Hi Charlie,

The CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT error can be caused by a faulty processor. This error may also be triggered by an outdated driver. To isolate your concern, we suggest that you consider the following:

• Ensure that your CPU's temperature is within standard and nothing is overheating.
  
• Clear your CMOS (or load optimized BIOS defaults) to ensure there's no improper BIOS setting or to clear overclock settings.
  
• Update your BIOS.
• Run
  Windows Update to install the latest driver on your system.

Note: For steps 2 & 3, it's best to get an assistance from your system manufacturer to ensure that all settings will be properly configured.

Feel free to post back if you encounter any challenges along the process.
